Aurelia Petronilla (died 31 May 64) was the daughter of Saint Peter and an early Christian saint.

Biography
Aurelia Petronilla was the daughter of Saint Peter, and her father cured her of palsy by performing a miracle on her. She was so beautiful that her father kept her locked up in a tower to keep her from eligible men, and she went on a hunger strike rather than marry the pagan Roman patrician Flaccus. Her father let her starve herself to death; he would later be martyred as well. An abbey in Subiaco was built in her honor, and her head was preserved there and put on display for pilgrims to see.
